Hallo Davide,

Isn't it $LOGNAME? This one is used in sendmail.solaris.sh.

I know $USER from Linux and from some configureded AIX 4.x systems, yes.
Solaris does not set $USER by default.

But this is a shell and shell-configuration issue that goes to
/etc/profile or /etc/environment, or to the login scripts.

One can still change $USER or whatever by a wrapper for sendmail
binary, if needed.

However, go ahead, it makes sense and sounds good!


Bye,
Hagen

This advantage is that $USER is a standard Unix environment variable, so 
you do not need to set it.
